Thank you!

The 2nd Vegan Cook Off event, which was organised by the Vegetarian Society of Ireland, took place on Friday 13 February 2015 and, despite the reputation of the day, turned out to be very lucky for everyone involved. The Cook Off was well attended and we saw over 150 guests come through the doors of St. Andrew's Resource Centre to sample 12 savoury dishes and 9 sweet dishes. Tasters voted for their favourite dishes. The winning dishes were Rice, veg and salad by Deirdre Blake and Baked Delights by Buttercream's Bakery. We are very grateful to our sponsors: The Hopsack, Dunnes Stores, Cornucopia, Umi Falafel and Caterhire.ie. €700 was raised for Focus Ireland.  

Thank you to everyone involved for making it a night to remember and raising the funds for this worthy cause.  See you all again for Cook Off #3!
